[Leica] IMG: Nathan's PAW 45: cycling, desperate Irish fans, wine

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

I remember them from hitchhiking through Spain (and almost every 
other country of western Europe) in 1965 and 1967. They were quite 
distinctive, and usually had 'Osborne' and 'Veterano' on them.

I also went to one bullfight in Barcelona in 1965. One and that was 
enough. I also went to a bullfight in Cascais in Portugal, but that 
was quite different in spirit and result. I don't associate the 
Osborne bulls with bullfighting; the Osborne bulls remind me of the 
glorious time I had travelling in those years in my early 20's.
